Abstract: In liquid-phase hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate on bimetallic Ni-Pd catalysts supported on Al<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, the reaction rate increases sharply and passes through a maximum with an increase in the concentration of Pd. The change in the rate of hydrogenation with a change in the composition of the catalysts is not due to a change in the dispersion of the metallic phase in them or enrichment of their surface with one of the metals.
